how to get chickens to lay eggs in the nesters? My chickens are laying the eggs all over the hen house. I have a community nester, about 3 feet high.
Thank you for the good ideas! I will try them and see how it all works out. When I find one ready to lay I will get her put her in the rollaway nester and put the roost bar up, that will lock her in there. then when she is done I will let her out. But it will be a lot of work as I have 12 hens...- djcap

I even tried putting a board so they can walk up to it and that did not work.- djcap

they are one year old, they never went in, all my old chicken did use it, It is 4 feet long the type that the eggs rool out the back so they don't get dirty, there are two places they lay, corners of the house.- djcap
